hortlisted for 2009 Pat Lowther Memorial Awardand the Atlantic Poetry PrizeThe essence, the quintessence, of lyric poetry.Sue Sinclair is the direct inheritor of the great early 20th Century German poet, Rilke: she possesses intense lyrical vision, steeped in wonder at the existence of the world, and a kind of grief at our inability to lose ourselves in it completely. Her perception is acutely focused and rigorous; and she is acutely self-aware. She is not afraid of words like âbeautyâ or âbeing,â yet, because of the intensity of her vision, she never uses them as clichés. Her gift for metaphor is astonishing and may remind some readers of the young Roo Borson. |
